He said: “Such incidents of mindless vandalism will not be tolerated. Cameras are there to increase safety and damage to them could result in speed-related accidents.” ..get it right ....its just money making ..... whoever is doing this is doing the average motorist a bigggg favour!!!

Dear Echo,
If you intend on reporting please can you print the facts.
Please would you not amend photos to fit in with your column.
In your Castle Point edition dated 24th November 2008 you show the Camera burnt out in Long road Canvey with an oncoming car on the left hand side of the road.
DO WE LIVE IN FRANCE!!!!!!!!!!!

The average speed cameras that are spreading this way down the A12 and soon onto the A127 will proove more of a challenge to these mindless vandals who suffer from a small particle of brain lodged in their heads.

When the bonehead(s)who burnt these cameras is caught the law will give them a hefty custodial sentence, make no mistake. And then listen to 'em squeal like a greased pig.

Listen carefully:
Do not break the law and speed. You may think you're a better driver than anyone else but you're not

Do not destroy government property that is paid for by the taxpayer.

Morons!!

Interesting that this morning's crash on the A127 happened on the London-bound stretch near Progress Road, which is covered by speed cameras.

The accident did not occur on the Southend-bound stretch, where the camera was torched 2 weeks ago. Statistically speaking, the stretch without speed camera surveillance is now safer. Statistics are fantastic!

Likewise, I haven't seen any accidents at the Fortune of War since the cameras were taken out of service and the national speed limit restored. When the cameras were fitted however, I did witness an accident when a car braked hard for the camera and the car behind drove into the back of him. Again, statistically speaking, removing the cameras has reduced the number of accidents.

"GarySmiff" mentioned France ...In France they often use black plywood lifesize cutouts representing the spirit of a road accident victim at the roadside location where it occurred. Seeing a couple and their children (ages written on the figures) seems far more effective than a yellow fine grabber. You only need to see the way French motorists instinctively slow when passing through any populated area. They don't cost £40,000 either.

In Britain we have a hardrcore of particularly dumb, stupid drivers who quite clearly cannot take a hint. Hence the cameras and drink driving purges. You dont need cardboard cutouts when a short, sharp shock will do.
